Hard Times

I remember back before it all became clear

The end wasn't near

We were poor without fear

I remember times before it all became plain

We were young and insane

She liked to fuck in the rain

We thought that we were pretty

I guess that we were

We loved without pity

I did it for her

We loved it in the city

Loved it in the dirt that was building up in our minds

And clouding our eyes

In hard times

In hard times

In hard times

I remember back when it was still cool to dance

To a band in tight pants

Even if they were trash

Juliet was expert at the withering glance

That could turn you to ash but you'd still take that chance

I thought that I was funny

I probably was

When she asked me for money I said you're the boss

You know I'm sorry honey, I didn't count the cost

Of the silly things I did

The things that I hid

In hard times

In hard times

In hard times

We got high but always for fun

We'd try anything once maybe twice

And we'd never pay

Well I know somewhere, sometime, I'll meet her again

It won't be as lovers, but still more than friends

Maybe then I'll ask her if she remembers when

She could keep me smiling

Just with her violin

In hard times

In hard times

In hard times

In hard times
